Well, no, because here are two problems for a small business, or any kind of business. Number one, the moment you sign a contract with your processor to accept Visa cards, you must accept all their cards, including MasterCard. They have an “honour all cards” rule. In fact, MasterCard is now going to be introducing a super-premium card. God knows what that means. So that's the number one issue.
Number two, if I'm a business, there is no way I can tell which card you're giving me anymore. They all look gold now, or silver, and no one knows. Personally, as a consumer, why should I? With the exception that I may have a few loyalty points or I may have lots of loyalty points, I have no idea. The merchant doesn't know either, and the customer can't say and the merchant doesn't identify it. It will get even worse next year as we go to the chip. While the chip is good for security reasons, most of the devices will be hand-held by the consumer. The consumer will do the transaction on his or her own, so there will be no interaction. Even if there were a way of identifying them, you won't be able to identify them at all, because you won't even come into contact with the card.
